This video, building on the ideas of Ernest Becker, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche and Emerson, examines why we are so susceptible to conformity and looks at why nonconformity, or the cultivation of one’s uniqueness, is such an important ingredient in a life well-lived.

ATTENTION: All you rule-breakers, you misfits and troublemakers - all you free spirits and pioneers - all you visionaries and non-conformists ...
Everything that the establishment has told you is wrong with you - is actually what's right with you.

You see things others don't. You are hardwired to change the world. Unlike 9 out of 10 people - your mind is irrepressible - and this threatens authority. You were born to be a revolutionary.

You can't stand rules because in your heart you know there's a better way.

You have strengths dangerous to the establishment - and it wants them eliminated, So your whole life you've been told your strengths were weaknesses - Now I'm telling you otherwise.

Your impulsivity is a gift - impulses are your key to the miraculous,

Your distractibility - is an artifact of your inspired creativity,

Your mood swings - reflect the natural pulse of life, they give you unstoppable energy when you're high and deep soulful insight when you're low,

Been diagnosed with a "disorder"? That's society's latest way to deny it's own illness by pointing the finger at you. Your addictive personality is just a symptom of your vast underused capacity for heroic, creative expression and spiritual connection. your utter lack of repression, your wide eyed idealism, your unmitigated open mind - didn't anyone ever tell you?! these are the traits shared by the greatest pioneers and visionaries and innovators, revolutionaries, procrastinators and drama queens, activists on the social scene, space cadets and mavericks, philosophers and derelicts, business suits flying fighter jets, football stars and sex addicts, celebrities with ADD, alcoholics who seek novelty, first responders - prophets and saints, mystics and change agents.

We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -

You know in your heart that there's a natural order to life,
something more sovereign than any man-made rules or laws could ever express.

This natural order is called "the Way."

The Way is the eternal substrate of the cosmos. It guides the very current of time and space. The Way is known by some as the Will of God, Divine Providence, the Holy Spirit, the implicate order, the Tao, reverse-entropy, life-force, but for now we'll simply call it "the Way." The Way is reflected in you as the source of your inspiration, the source of your passions, your wisdom, your enthusiasm, your intuition, your spiritual fire - love. The Way takes the chaos out of the Universe and breathes life into it by reflecting divine order. The Way, when experienced by the mind, is genius, when perceived through the eyes is beauty, when felt with the senses is grace, when allowed into the heart ... is love.

Most people cannot sense the Way directly. ... But then there are the Wayseers. The keepers of the flame. Wayseers have an unexplainable knack for just knowing the Way. They sense it in their very being. They can't tell you why or how they arrived at the right answer. They just know it in their core. They can't show their work. So don't ask. Their minds simply resonate with the Way. When the Way is present, so are they.

While others are blind to it, and society begs you to ignore it, "the Way" stirs you inside. Neurological repression blocks most people's awareness of the Way - censoring all thoughts and impulses from the unconscious is their prefrontal cortex - the gestapo of the brain -  nothing which violates its socialized programming even gets through; but your mind is different. your mind has been cracked wide open to the Way - by some miraculous genetic trait, some psychotropic chemical or maybe even by the will of your very soul, your brain's reward pathways have been hijacked - dopamine employed to overthrow the fascist dictatorship of your prefrontal cortex - now your brain is free of repression, your mind free of censorship, your awareness exposed to the turbulent seas of the unconscious - through this open doorway divine light shines into your consciousness showing you the Way. This is what makes you a Wayseer.

90% of human civilization is populated with those who's brains are blocked to the Way.  Their brains are hardwired to enforce the social programming indoctrinated since birth. Unlike you they cannot break out of this programming, because they have not yet experienced the necessary revolution of mind. These programmed people take social institutions and rules very seriously. Society is full of games programmed to keep peoples' minds occupied so they will not revolt. These games often cause sick fixations on peculiar protocols, power structures, taboos and domination - all subtle forms of human bondage - This distinct form of madness is not only tolerated by the masses but insisted upon. The programmed ones believe in rules so forcefully they become willing to destroy anyone who violates them.

Wayseers are the ones who call their bluff.  Since Wayseer minds are free to reject social programming, Wayseers readily see social institutions for what they are - imaginary games.  Wayseers comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable. Helping those who are lost in these games and refuse to help themselves is a calling of many Wayseers. Since Wayseers are the ones who keep contact with the original source of reality - they are able to disrupt societal conventions and even governments to realign humanity with the Way.

The Wayseers are an ancient lineage. A kind of priesthood - carriers of the flame - ones "in the know."  There must always be Wayseers to reform the dizzying psychotic spinning gears of society - giant mindless hamster wheels obscuring the pure blue sky, keeping humanity shackled in a darkened cage - so Wayseers are called - to shed light on the madness of society - to continually resurrect the timeless transcendent Spirit of Truth -

Wayseers reveal this divine truth by devoting themselves to the birth of some creative or disruptive act expressed through art or philosophy, innovations to shake up industry, revolutions for democracy, coups that topple hypocrisy, movements of solidarity, changes that leave a legacy, rebellions against policy, spirit infused technology, moments of clarity, things that challenge barbarity, watersheds of sincerity, momentous drives for charity
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all affected by the way -
We are - all - the same - you know
'cuz we're all attracted to the flame -

This is your calling, Wayseer.
You've found your tribe.

Brent St.Denis Writes about Buffy

She is an indigenous woman born in the province of Saskatchewan, in the Canadian prairies. She was adopted out at a young age to a family in Massachusetts. Her famous anti-war song Universal Soldier is still relevant today as are Up Where We Belong and many others.

Derek sent me a wonderful photo of her at a UBLA gathering taken many decades ago. 
Have you seen her collaboration with Winnie Hunt and David Bradley as cover artist for "Our Local Universe Mother Spirit" ?

Enjoy the inspiration - she is still going strong at 80.   BTW you can find a number of her motivational speeches on Youtube - she is an amazing woman- still very youthful..
Love
Brent

Universal Soldier

UNIVERSAL SOLDIER (annotated lyrics)
Words and music Buffy Sainte-Marie
© Caleb Music

He’s five foot two and he’s six foot four

These were the height parameters for soldiers in 1961

He fights with missiles and with spears

In both the future and the past, soldiers are soldiers: only the equipment varies

He’s all of 31 and he’s only 17

Age parameters during the 1960s

He’s been a soldier for a thousand years

This is not some new high tech phenomenon

He’s a Catholic, a Hindu, an atheist a Jain,
A Buddhist, and a Baptist and a Jew

Soldiers are found even among people who are “religious” and are not confined to just one religion

And he knows he shouldn’t kill and he knows he always will

Even though his religion forbids it, he chooses to be a killer

Kill you for me, my friend, and me for you

Whichever side he’s on, it’s still absurd

He’s fighting for Canada. He’s fighting for France. He’s fighting for the USA
and he’s fighting for the Russians and he’s fighting for Japan

He’s not just from some far away enemy country but from “our” country too

And he thinks he’ll put an end to war this way

He hasn’t thought it through from a logical, long range point of view

He’s fighting for democracy, he’s fighting for the Reds

He’s on “our side” as well as “their side”

He’s says it’s for the peace of all

He’s believes in the absurdity of violence as an act of peace

He’s the one who must decide who’s to live and who’s to die

He has a responsibility he’s been trained to overlook

And he never sees the writing on the wall

He learns nothing from history so can’t predict obvious outcomes of repeating it

But without him how would Hitler have condemned him at Dachau

Human beings allow other human beings to commit genocide

Without him Caesar would have stood alone.

We can’t blame just the leaders

He’s the one who gives his body as a weapon to a war

Each individual has a choice

And without him all this killing can’t go on

No individual soldiers = no war

He’s the universal soldier and he is really is to blame

Some responsibility is upon each soldier

But his orders come from far away no more

The Nazis claimed they were innocent because their orders came from” far away” superiors 
but that’s not true here and now in our modern democracies

They come from him and you and me

We are each responsible – civilians, mothers and sweethearts – so long as we tolerate it

and Brothers, can’t you see this is not the way to put an end to war?

This last line is put not as scolding someone else but as a question to someone you love. 

Note that the music ends on an unresolved chord.

Vietnam soldier’s grafitti, mis-identified by Smithsonian Magazine as a “mystery poem”, turns out actually to be from Buffy Sainte-Marie’s song Universal Soldier.

In 1967, a young G.I. was lying on his bunk on a troop carrier headed to Vietnam. On the canvas bottom of the bunk above him, he carefully wrote a few lines of free verse in Morse code. That piece of canvas was donated along with a few others to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where a historian was studying wartime graffiti.

You’re the one who must decide
Who’s to live and who’s to die
You’re the one who gives his body
As a weapon of the war – And without you all this killing can’t go on.

New stamp honours renowned singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie
November 18, 2021 4 minute read

Made in the image of the Creator: that’s us. Creative and always evolving, mutating, developing, growing. -Buffy Sainte-Marie

uffy Sainte-Marie has one of the music industry’s most distinctive and recognizable voices. For nearly 60 years, the internationally renowned singer-songwriter has used it as a powerful way to speak out against injustice and help foster change.

Sainte-Marie is believed to have been born on February 20, 1941, on the Piapot First Nation in southeastern Saskatchewan’s Qu’Appelle Valley. Raised by adoptive parents in New England and subjected to racism and abuse when she was young, she turned to music “just for the joy of it.”

“I’m musically dyslexic and unable to learn notation, but from the age of three I’ve made music naturally at home, by ear, without teachers … no matter who insisted that I couldn’t,” she says. “I was also told I couldn’t be an Indigenous person because they were all vanished. Knowing that sometimes the world is wrong and you’re right is a tremendous advantage in understanding it.”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIjhZlnmgyc&list=WL&index=163

Graduating college in the early 1960s, she began playing at coffee houses and folk festivals, quickly distinguishing herself with her vibrato vocals, emotional delivery and fearless lyrics. Intensely passionate about her craft and convictions, she became an outspoken activist for Indigenous rights and an unwavering voice for the oppressed.

Some 20 years after the release of her first album It’s My Way! (1964), which contained the popular anti-war anthem “Universal Soldier”, she found out that her songs had been banned from airplay on American radio stations by the Johnson and Nixon administrations.

“There was nothing I could do about it when I did find out,” she says. “The reality: I just kept on writing, painting, making music – even though I was getting nowhere in showbiz, because that’s what I love to do anyway. I’m an artist.”

Sainte-Marie’s work – from hit love songs such as “Until It’s Time for You to Go”, “Up Where We Belong” and “Still This Love Goes On” to serious protest songs like “Universal Soldier”, “Now That the Buffalo’s Gone”, “The War Racket” and “No No Keshagesh” –has constantly evolved, blending and transcending genres. Although she says she’s influenced by all music, she admits to being crazy about Tchaikovsky and Little Richard and identifying closely with the emotionally unbridled vocals of Edith Piaf and Carmen Amaya.

“Those let ‘er rip styles feel very natural to me. Singing powwow is nothing like the honey-and-lemon sing-your-scales approach of ‘official’ music. We sing all night, no problem,” she says. “I’ve also listened to a lot of old Delta blues men tell their stories. That’s what I like, no matter where or when it comes from. Real emotion, unique entertainment.”

Over the years, Sainte-Marie has channelled her boundless energy and creativity into more than just her music. For a number of seasons, she shared her warmth and wisdom with millions of children as a regular on Sesame Street. She is also a talented multi-media artist whose deeply meaningful and visually arresting works hang in galleries across Canada and the United States.

“It’s just another kind of fun: same brain, different tools. Believe it or not, I’m not some purposeful scholar making art with a goal in mind. I’m like a kid: I’m playing with colour, sound, light, melody, line, contrast, harmony, reflection, rhythm, repetition. All the elements of basic design,” she explains. “I’d do the same thing playing in the sand at the beach.”

This same attitude is also reflected in Sainte-Marie’s openness to using innovative technologies  of the day to create her art. In 1969 she released the world’s first quadraphonic vocal album,  Illuminations, which also marked the beginning of her experimentation with electronic sounds. In 1984, she began creating her digital fine art collection using the earliest version of MacPaint on the first Macintosh computer. In 1991, she recorded the first-ever album delivered using the internet: Coincidence and Likely Stories.

Still performing at age 80, Sainte-Marie’s talent, unique artistic vision and extraordinary bravery in the face of adversity have won her a passionate and loyal following across the country and around the world. With more than 20 albums to her name, she has seen her music covered by hundreds of artists – including Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Barbra Streisand and Cher.

Sainte-Marie has received many accolades, including appointment as a Companion of the Order of Canada, multiple JUNO and other awards – among them, an Academy Award for co-writing the hit ballad “Up Where We Belong” for the movie An Officer and a Gentleman – and, now, her own commemorative stamp. 

Although she is honoured by such recognition, she confesses that the achievements that mean the most to her are her educational and philanthropic efforts. She is particularly proud of seeing two of her early scholarship recipients go on to become the presidents of tribal colleges. And, she hopes that her Cradleboard Teaching Project – which has developed a curriculum that teaches core subjects such as science, history and geography through Indigenous eyes – will be embraced in Canada, as it has been in parts of the United States.

“It’s like trying to gather water in a lace curtain. Our histories, the health of our communities and our capacities to survive the present onslaught of challenges have all been disjointed, like chicken parts rendered for the fryer,” she says. “We each deal with it in our own ways, and for me, scholarship, creativity and public outreach is the path for both my gift to others and my way of healing myself from life’s little bruises.”

Her advice to up-and-coming Indigenous artists?

“… you can develop endlessly, continually challenged by new issues but also refreshed by new creativity, knowing that the world may be naive about something to which you have the key,”
